One get suspicious over why british imperialist Kipling did make a tiger, the symbolic animal par preference of India, and especially the indian warrior, the villain of the piece. Note that "Shere" is another form of Shir". Shir khan was a king of Afghanistan in the late 19´th century, who tried to oppose british imperialism, and made contact with Russia("The great game" of Kiplings "Kim"). The british had him deposed.This seems to have succeded part because Shir khan was rather progressive and at odds with the establishment. He tried to regain his throne witch led to the war in Afghanistan where dr. John Watson got the wound that led to his meeting Sherlock Holmes. This thusly shortly before Kipling writing "The jungle book".
